Leaders Worth Following!

Dani Rotstein As a filmmaker, I live behind the lens. As a Tour Director, I love bringing my creativity into the spotlight, while helping teens understand the rewards of travel. You’ll usually find my group engaged in crazy group bonding activities, whether we’re singing on the bus or cheering each other on in my own version of “The Amazing Race.”	Heidi Bodanis Outgoing yet approachable, organized yet laid-back – that’s me! I’ve been told that I have a knack for understanding teenagers’ needs. The reward? I love seeing the solidarity and connection between the tour members at the end of every trip I lead!

Lindsay Borovay I knew when I traveled as a “Westcoast” teen that I would be back one day – on staff! As a Tour Director, my incredible memories along with my training as a PhD in Adolescent Psychology help me to now create the same amazing group dynamics that helped shape me.	Adam Chaim I love experiencing the world through the eyes of a teenager, whether I’m teaching English in Hong Kong or Phys Ed in my native Canada. No matter where each Westcoast adventure takes me, my personal connection with each Tour Member has made me feel as though I was seeing each place for the first time.

Whitney Aziz I love this job! I put my heart and soul into every Westcoast trip. I bridge my summers by teaching high school, coaching soccer & volleyball, and traveling around the world, but nothing compares to my Westcoast experiences.	Darren Morenstein I’m a football junkie, music enthusiast and avid traveler. I’m also that crazy tour director who chases the mascot through the stands at the ballgame! What I love most about each trip is the unique culture that is created from those one-of-a-kind moments. My goal is that no two summers are the same!
